​Do you love exquisite, girly packaging, caramel scents, & over the top luxury? Then you NEED to go and check out Viktor & Rolf BonBon Couture. Released earlier this year, this is the sexier, more luxurious version of the original....and it is SO YOU. With top notes of mandarin, neroli oil and peach, creamy middle notes of orange blossom,Sambac jasmine, & caramel, & base notes of sandalwood and patchouli, with vanilla and blonde tobacco . you'll be smelling like a goddess all summer long. This white floral/caramel fragrance is one you should be dropping major hints for this Christmas ;)

Lancôme Énergie De Vie The Overnight Recovery Sleeping Mask

This time of year has the potential to really take it out of us....and it can show in our skin! I know it definitely shows in mine. I'm on my second jar of the Energie de Vie Sleeping Mask from Lancôme- and I don't see myself ever stopping using it! I put it on just before bed, and leave it on overnight (don't worry, it absorbs like a dream)- and I wake up looking ALIVE! My skin is plump, smooth, hydrated, and glowy absolutely every time I use this mask- I don't 100% guarantee many things, but I can guarantee you this. It works! Please, please try it- you'll never look back.

LUSH Christmas 2016

​No one does a Christmas collection quite like Lush does- every single year the products seem to get bigger, better, and six million times more beautiful. 2016 is no exception, and it was unbelievably hard to try and narrow down my favourites :O But- here we go. I loveee the Golden Wonder Bath Bomb because of how happy & uplifting the scent is- think sweet orange oil, zesty lime, & cognac! The Santasaurus Bubble Bar was a HUGE hit with Micah- that kid has never had so much fun in the bath before (& he's begging me to buy more). I was rapt to see the return of the candy floss-scented Snow Fairy not just in shower gel formula...but a divine body conditioner- OBSESSED! It's not too late to dash in store to nab these, but be quick- they're limited edition!

Societe Brightening Serum

​Everyone knows that I'm always down to try a new serum- particularly if they involve brightening the skin. Who doesn't want brighter, more radiant skin?! I was sent the Societe Brightening Serum several months ago, and I've been using it with great joy ever since. Essentially, it's meant to target dark spots, pigmentation & discolouration- none of which I have CRAZY amounts of admittedly...but I do have a couple of sun-damaged areas that irk me. This serum has absolutely lightened these up- & this makes me very happy. I'm excited to keep using it to see if it makes them disappear for good!

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Makeup SPF 15

This is a product that I've been using for nearly a year, and I love it just as much now as I did when I first started! The Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lift & Firm SPF 15 Foundation is an absolute DREAM to apply & wear. If you have dry skin, or aging skin, or both (like moi), this will most likely end up being your holy grail. It gives an excellent full coverage (yussss) with a satin finish- & it doesn't sink into any fine lines! A little bit goes a long way, and I've had great success with the longevity of this foundation- I've had a solid 9 hours wear with no touch ups- LOVE! Definitely check it out at your closest Elizabeth Arden counter. ​

Bobbi Brown Wine & Chocolate Collection

​As soon as I laid eyes on the new Bobbi Brown Wine & Chocolate Collection, I was smitten. Actually, as soon as I heard the collection was CALLED Wine & Chocolate, I was smitten. Two of my faves as the inspiration for a collection? YES PLEASE. I wasn't disappointed- look at these beauties! The limited edition collection includes two eyeshadow palettes, Sequin Eye Shadow singles (4 different sparkly/shimmer shades that are all to die for), two brightening blushes, as well as lipstick and gel eyeliner. The packaging is gorgeous, and I just KNOW these are going to sell out. Be quick!

Aspect Skincare Eye Cream

Eye cream is one of those things that I SHOULD have started using about one hundred years ago- but didn't. Because I was so slack, this means that not any old eye product will do- I have some SERIOUS crows feet that need work. thankfully, the legends from Aspect Skincare sent me their Eye Cream several months ago, and I've been using it religiously ever since. It contains all the good stuff like shea butter, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Aloe and Glycerin, and it's beautifully nourishing. I apply it twice a day; in the morning before makeup application, and in the evening before bed. While I still do have some crows feet, I've noticed a significant improvement- I look far more awake, & the entire area is just more refreshed. I will definitely keep using this! ​

MAC x Mariah Carey

​If you're like me and you're an absolute sucker for sparkly, glittery, shiny packaging, you're going to lose your mind over the latest MAC Cosmetics collaboration. MAC X Mariah Carey is absolutely BEAUTIFUL- and has arrived just in time for Christmas ;) Start hinting.... ;) The collection (which is pretty vast, actually) includes embossed lipsticks, lipglasses, two eyeshadow quads, blush powders- & so, so much more. My top picks? The Extra Dimension Skinfinish in My Mimi, the warm-toned eyeshadow quad called I'm That Chick You Like, and the gorgeous Bit Of Bubbly lipstick. These will be on counter from December the 12th- get ready!!!

I love it as it's a great community of lovely people and you find out about great products worth trying! :)

It's true, I'm an information junkie... It's a home where having an obsessions for Makeup/skincare is acceptable... And cat infatuation, it's the norm! I honestly could write an entire book from all I have learnt from Kirsty and all of the muo members. But I'm too busy putting it all into practice and wow what a difference it has made! My skin, hair and Makeup good days are totally all thanks to this page! But it's not any of these things which is the real reason I keeps me coming back. It's the caring, safe, kind, friendly, compassionate, considerate, respectful behaviour which is what it means to be a muo member, leaving there only room to feel empowered and uplifted for all fellow muo members. This is what makes muo gold to me.

This group has made me realise how much make up is an expression of creativity and a way to boost your confindence (when in need!), we have become a community of beautiful men and women who empower each other and can bounce ideas off each other. I know my make up has come a very long way since I was able to join the group, many thanks.

What can I say about MUO without writing a novel about its awesomeness!
1. The vibe is so inclusive doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned paid professional everyone has something to offer, and if you want advice there's nowhere else I would go to ask.
2. We love our products and we love to share the goodies that make us go weak in the knees. - and we often sell them out ;)
3. The community Stretches the world and having things like the meet ups and beauty boxes!!! Allows us to meet our MUO family!!
There are so many things to love about MUO!!

I love seeing how much of a family everyone is, and how kind and caring and supportive we all are to people starting out with makeup - just like me! We support our makeup obsession and tell each other it's okay when we buy more than others think we need! I also love the inspiration that I get from posts - seeing a way someone has done their makeup differently and giving that a go! Definitely pushed my confort zone out! thank you Kirsty ❤️

I love MUO as it's encouraged and helped me realise and follow my dreams. I worked a mundane desk job for 13 years simply because it was secure and paid the bills. I joined MUO over a year ago and this amazing community helped reignite my true passion.... makeup! I've learnt so much and my passion has grown so much more that, today, I resigned from my job so that I can follow my dreams in the makeup industry 😆😆😆 Thank you MUO'S and Kirsty 💋💋💋

I love MUO because it's so nice to be in a community where there's so many makeup lovers out there just like me!! Not only do I learn so much from these girls whether it's a new makeup trick or a new exciting product but some actually learn from me too so it's real nice to know that I'm able to help some girls and guys out there too. Really gives me that encouragement to make the most of me studying the wide world of makeup 💄😘😘

Fun, love, laughter, support - incredible qualities that don't waver from a community of strong women. Personally I get so much from being a part of MUO - knowing that there is a generation of young women behind me that are more determined to show their worth, stick up for and be true to themselves is incredibly humbling. The knowledge every single person imparts is such a valuable gift.
